<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>You know, it's sort of embarrassing to air your priorities for public consumption.[/quote]
That's myself, in my last post in "hearing loss" discussion (yes, yes, just a bit off-topic...). It got me to thinking, though: Although there are a few of you who can afford the Steyer Scouts and Blazers and the Ma Deuces and the Linebaughs and the photon-projectors with Stun-to-Kill variable effect dials (or whatnot), most of us are a bit more frugal, and are so because we're on a bit more fixed of an income.
Consequently, we prioritize. We make decisions not based soley on what we want, but also on what we can afford. While I want a Steyer Scout, I'm probably going to buy a Savage. While I want a Linebaugh custom, I'll probably buy a stock Ruger Super Blackhawk. Get the picture?
So what's on your plate for the Next Three Purchases? In order of importance, &/or of attainment, please. Mine runs something like this:
Having my shot-out Springfield bored-out to .358 (in effect, obtaining a .35 Whelen). (priority: 2)
Purchasing a Keltec P-32 pocket pistol. (priority: 3)
Purchasing a Lyman .58 cal percussion muzzle-loader (Great Plains). (priority [today]: 1)
In that order. $ figures, but also need, and whatever happened to seem tasty (and attainable) that day.

This should be interesting.
